Welcome.
Hello! I’m Greg Smith.
For 40 years, I built and led high-performing teams at Farm Bureau of Michigan, spending the last 15 years as a state sales director. My focus? Developing leaders—helping them recruit, train, and grow in an environment where they could become the best version of themselves.
Leadership isn’t just about strategy; it’s about people. The most valuable lessons I learned came from building cohesive teams, managing individual egos, and fostering interdependence for the greater good.
Now, through G.R.A.C.E. Inspired Communications, I help leaders in any industry sharpen their skills and strengthen their impact. Gratitude. Resilience. Attitude. Courage. Encourage. These aren’t just words—they’re behaviors that, when practiced consistently, shape great leaders.
The future of leadership requires more than expertise; it demands empathy, emotional intelligence, and the willingness to grow. If you're ready to lead with intention and make a lasting impact, let's connect.
More on my Leadership Philosophy
Great leadership is simple when done with intention. It starts with truly knowing your people, understanding their strengths, challenges, and goals. It’s about showing them they matter because recognition and respect fuel engagement. And above all, it requires consistency—leading with clarity and reliability to build trust and drive success.
